Hi guys, first time iPad user. Curious on how do I stream music/ YouTube in the back ground while I do work in other apps. I read this on the net but it does not work for me
QUOTE
1. Open the YouTube app and play a video.
2. Go to the home screen, the music will stop playing.
3. Open the multitask bar, and scroll to the left, where the music controls are. The YouTube app should be depicted on the right.
4. Just hit play, and go on with your business.

Tried this too, but same thing
QUOTE
Play the video on youtube. Hit home button to exit, lock the screen, hit home button again 2 times, the current playing track will be displayed at the top of screen with play button under it. tap that and voila. (works with iOS 5)
The play button gets highlighted when I tap on it but the song does not continue to stream..

Any other suggestions for me? I've already upgraded to the latest version of the software.

Thank you!

Can't multitask with the stock Youtube App. I use 3rd party app like McTube to play the music in the background. Can download Youtube video some more

Is it the same method with the mc tube? But can't we use web YouTube instead of YouTube papas said in the web searches as above?

free mp3 download and free video download app in app store all can listen to music in background
unless you open an app that have its own sound like games, then those app will stop their audio

hoping that quasar (a jb tweak for real multitask) will be available for ios 6+ later
